Things to add to the release notes for the next full release:
-- SASL security layers (encryption) are now supported for the SMTP MTA.
-- You can now select the SMTP server and port from either "send" or a
- user's mh_profile (you could always select the server; that option is
- now documented). These are available via the -server and -port switches.
-- All networking code has been modified to use the new networking APIs
- (getaddrinfo and friends). All networking code (with the exception of
- the ftp client) now supports IPv6.
-- Support for prefixing a \01 in the "servers" entry in mts.conf to
- connect to all servers on a particular named net has been removed.
-- New commands 'new', 'fnext', 'fprev', and 'unseen' for showing folders with
- unseen mail (or mail in any specified sequence), changing to next such
- folder, changing to previous such folder, and scanning all such folders,
- respectively. This is based on Luke Mewburn's 'new':

+NEW FEATURES
+------------
+
+- builds use OpenSSL if available.
+- post now defaults to port 587 on 'smtp' message submission.
+- A value of 0 for the width switch of scan(1), inc(1), ap(1), dp(1),
+ fmttest(1), and mhl(1) now means as many characters as the format
+ engine can produce [Bug #15274]. That amount is limited by internal
+ buffers.
+- If a component has trailing whitespace, e.g., body:component="> ",
+ mhl now trims that whitespace off when filtering blank text lines.
+- An "rtrim" flag has been added to mhl to remove any trailing
+ whitespace from filtered text lines. A corresponding "nortrim" flag
+ has also been added.
+- The default locations for configuration files and suppoooort binaries
+ have been changed. Configuration files now install into ${sysconfdir}/nmh,
+ and support binaries are placed in ${libexecdir}/nmh. If you are upgrading
+ an existing installation you should look for old configuration files in
+ ${sysconfdir} and merge any local customizations into the new files in
+ ${sysconfdir}/nmh, then remove the old files. ${libdir} will also contain
+ obsolete support programs that should be removed.
+- When building from source, configure will derive ${prefix} from an existing
+ nmh installation if it finds one in your $PATH.
+
+-----------------
+OBSOLETE FEATURES
+-----------------
+
+- The undocumented -queue switch to post was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was
+ removed in this release.
+- conflict(8) was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release.
+- mhtest(8) was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release.
+- msh(1) was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release.
+- Support in alias files for the the "*" address-group (everyone) was
+ deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release.
+
+-------------------
+DEPRECATED FEATURES
+-------------------
+
+- Support for the MHPDEBUG environment variable is deprecated and will be
+ removed from a future nmh release. Instead, use the -debug switch to pick.
+- With the move of support binaries from ${libdir} to ${libexecdir}/nmh, the
+ mostly undocumented 'libdir' mhparam(1) component has been replaced by a
+ new 'libexecdir' component. 'libdir' will be removed in a future release.
+
+---------
+BUG FIXES
+---------
+
+- The format scanner no longer subtracts 1 from the width. This has the
+ effect of no longer counting the trailing newline in the output of
+ scan(1), inc(1), and the other programs that rely on the format scanner.
